Recipe: Skinny Sausage Zucchini Boats

If you don't cook with the extremely versatile zucchini, now is your perfect chance to start! These zucchini boats are stuffed with delicious chicken sausage, onions, garlic, red chili flakes and cumin, then topped with marinara sauce, panko crumbs and Parmesan cheese for the perfect low-cal dinner. In fact, one serving (two zucchini boats) comes to only 280 calories!

Pro tips:

To swap out the chicken sausage for ground beef or ground turkey: Just cook it first, drain the fat, and add to the recipe at step 5.

For a vegetarian option: Bulk the filling up with more vegetables, like a red or yellow pepper, or even quinoa instead of a meat option.
